Jet2 - 3
Sorry to be a pedant, ladies and gents, but the spelling on here is terrible. For example:
til - till
fasing - phasing
recentally - recently
arn't - aren't
jeasus - Jesus
reliabilty - reliability
I won't go on but these threads can be painful to read at times. Don't people have access to spellcheckers or even dictionaries these days ?

I agree, see my posting on the Leeds thread. Also from Rainboe
My pet hate is "there" instead of "their."
The overall standard of English is appalling.
The UK culture is now just so primitive.
All foreigners working for me have a much higher level of education and skills in several languages.
Anyone can use spellcheck but most simply do not care.
Any old spelling seems to be near enough.

I feel quite a lot of shock seeing well educated Indians and Pakistanis being interviewed and coming across with the most stunningly perfect English, with superb elocution. I see many parents are now sending there (that's a joke!) offspring to the sub-continent for private education. It is a cause of major despair that English is spoken and written far better by foreigners, and the British are now sinking into a morass of uneducated drivel with bizarre accents being thrust in your face everywhere you look. I think it is laziness and plain ignorance, with no desire to improve oneself! As I said, any criticism or suggestion to 'improve oneself' instigates a savage reaction rather than a 'Woops! Sorry! I shall try and improve!' Is anybody going to defend the legacy Shakespeare passed on to us?

In my company here in Krakow, the staff need to call many different countries and never have any problems communicating in English. However, they do not like to call the UK so I must do it.
The reason? They cannot understand a word and complain about UK people speaking with noodles in the mouth.
I read an article about a French diplomat. He described foreign English as Globish.He once had a meeting with and Englishmen, a Malaysian and a Hungarian.Everybody understood the English conversation perfectly well but nobody could understand the English guy.He was really pissed off.
Rainboe, you forgot Luton. I sometimes understand the tourists over here but only because they use very short repetitive 4 letter words.

paully: Ski flights went on sale today:
LBA - CMF / GVA / SZG (not on the press release but on timetable.)
MAN - CMF / GVA
EDI - CMF
BFS - CMF
NCL - CMF
BLK - GVA
Not as many frequencies as this winter by the looks of things.
Canaries & SSH also been on sale a while. Doubtless the rest will follow in the next few weeks.
Has anyone noticed that LBA - BGY appears to have been pulled for winter? Was launched in January but no longer showing availability.
Spelling: Loose instead of lose always drives me nuts!!!

Folks, could you possibly relocate the debate on spelling to JetBlast where it belongs please?
There are many like-minded folk in JB with whom you can collectively vent your spleens.

Going back to the Jet2 topic, saw for the first time the "new" G-LSAC, and have to say the huge winglets look really nice and give the aircraft an even more elegant touch, imo. Also didn't knew they have changed the seats. Looking much better and modern than the old grey ones. Way to go
